Trickey is a radically new, building blocks style keyboard. You can fully customize your keyboard layouts from scratch! In Trickey, key unit itself has a specific character inside. So, key ‘a’ works as ‘a’ at any location of a keyboard. Of course, keys are completely programmable with writer software on your PC. You can also program keyboard shortcuts like ‘Ctrl+S’ to a single key. Each board unit has 2x3 slots for inserting key units. If you want larger keyboard, you can assemble a larger board by combining units like jigsaw puzzle. Trickey inspires you to create your own key input environment.

Why?

Are you satisfied with your input environments?Aren’t you bothered by wastefully big full size keyboard?Check it out, Trickey will help you!

A New way of keyboard

Unlike conventional keyboards, Trickey's keys can be arranged freely. The keys are designed to fit into a grid of sockets, and when a key is placed, it will produce a specific character regardless of which socket the key is placed in.

The board unit holds the connectors on four sides, and with them Trickey can be expanded as you like.

You can build completely original keyboard in a few minutes.

How to assign a character

The keys are programmable via the writer software on your PC.Each keys can be rewritten whenever you want to.

You can also make combinations. Here is the long-awaited Ctrl+Z key.

Freedom of key designTrickey's key has a removable transparent top cover.

You can download key design templates on our website, or also create your favorite one with image editing software.

What is it for?

Original game controllerWho doesn't like game controllers with customized design? Here is the one idea from fanatics of World of Tanks!A keyboard which is optimized and designed for WoT!

Tired of using a full-size keyboard just for a graphics tablet or MIDI actuation?Such software only requires limited number of keys, and other keys are covered with dust.

Don't need full keyboard anymore when using editing software. Trickey kick the board out from the messy desk by customizing minimalist keyboard only.

Of course, you can use both Trickey and normal keyboard at the same time.
